FFmpeg is an open source project that produces libraries and programs to convert one video file format to another. It handles all file formats, and can also convert audio and images to video.

Site Video Conversion

Youtube is the ultimate example: a site where users can upload videos and share them with others. The technology behind this site is available via a combination of open source FFmpeg, php code, Flash scripts and related video codecs which can provide any site with similar functionality.

Although users can embed Youtube or Vimeo videos into sites, the host sites still brands the videos and invites users to visit their site. This is often not acceptable for commercial sites - so having a video conversion module on a site is often very desirable.

Putting Video Uploads On Site

We have used a combination of the technology mentioned above to provide:

• Installation and Set Up of FFmpeg
• Upgrades and Codec Advice
• Upload Scripts via PHP and jQuery
• User and Video Management
